Review of Chapter 56

House of Cards: Chapter 56 (2017)
Season 5, Episode 4
8/10
Entertaining but Beyond the Pale
22 June 2017
So Frank Underwood has that much power on the night of the election to start messing with polling places. I know he has been extorting governors, but the people he has such great disdain for are rounded up like cattle. This terrorism threat based on one incident is enough to cause a ripple bigger than a tsunami. Of course, like with Trump, Pennsylvania and Ohio are critical. I suppose one could figure out a way to freeze them out. While I found this an intriguing episode and Frank a purely fictional character, it's the ease with which he maneuvers. Also, so much is dependent on a computer guy, an insider, who seems to do more than the tech savvy people of the entire government. Once again, Doug, the sycophant and sociopath, is at the center of things. For a guy with so little spin when it comes to Underwood, he certainly can throw his weight around. Oh well. We've got nine more episodes to go.
